and now some digital work

digi background lace

This post was the prelude to the postcard pictured here. The seamless pattern created in the tute was printed on tyvek and then stamped over in some parts with metallic paint.
Over the week i got a message from Arlee in which she generously offered to share some pages on lace embroidery which i very gladly accepted. The embroidery is well above my present skills, but nonetheless, it gave me some ideas and a new direction.
And here's the latest on the lace chronicles.

The week has flown between studying Japanese and joining teams and further exploring Etsy and it's possibilities. It is a lot more than a venue for virtual shops, that's just the surface. Lots of time also spent on Facebook trying to sort things out. Feels like having a 9 to 5 without a paycheck. LOL!

dw-scarf
In planet weaving the scarf was finished 2 weeks ago, but i' mot cutting it until i finish the rest of the warp.This is called discipline and also trying to weave something for the complex weavers study group i'm in before i get kicked out for not submitting a project .
i feel i need a dyeing distraction session :)

helping hand



Both Vero and Annica gave me the helping hands award for which i'm truly grateful. Makes me feel good that in my own small way i can contribute to the on line community giving back some of what i get from it.

Here is how it works;select 10 bloggers, 5 you consider your Helping Hand
and then Pay it Forward to 5 additional new bloggers, in support and encouragement for their efforts.

My turn now:Helping Hands
Jude, Glennis, Elisabeth Marshall,the Missus, Ruth Mclaughlin

Pay Forward: most of them are not new in blogland, but helpful nonetheless.
Bhakti, Sandra, Cally ,Leigh ,Deepa
